Managing Relationships with Partners in Non-Traditional Badge Development

Last updated August 19, 2019

Does working with industry partners make you think twice about non-traditional badges?

Overview

Non-traditional badges represent a growing market full of opportunity. However, you may not be pursuing badges of this type, because you’re not sure how to work with industry partners in development and management. Don’t let that stop you!

Join us for this webcast to learn tips on how to engage with industry partners for non-traditional badge development. We will profile a typical relationship with industry partners and share common pitfalls to avoid.

Non-traditional badges are badges that align with professional development and partnerships with business and industry. For example, a community college can partner with a business who needs to train its employees on how to use a software tool necessary to work on pumps.

Who should attend?

This webcast series will appeal to higher education professionals (faculty, faculty developers, and academic leadership) who are planning for and/or are in the process of implementing a badging initiative at their institutions.
